Description
We’ve been crafting antique replica convex glass, also known as bubble or domed glass, since the 1970s. Our stock includes a variety of antique and modern sizes, including oval convex glass, which fits any frame we produce, though it’s most popular with our Vintage Collection frames.
Measuring Convex Glass
Oval convex glass is measured by length and width, across the glass (not around the bend). Depth typically ranges from 3/4" to 1", but deeper bends are available. We stock many antique sizes, including the Oval 13 1/2" x 19 5/8", with most not requiring custom bending fees.
Custom Sizes
We offer 15 standard sizes of oval convex glass, plus custom bending up to 20" x 24". For custom sizes, simply send a paper tracing of your measurements. Delivery takes 3-4 weeks after we receive your tracing.
History of Oval Convex Glass
In the late 1800s to 1940s, oval frames were popular, and many photographs were printed with a convex curve. Today, we replace broken convex glass in these antique frames, preserving these family heirlooms.
Uses of Convex Glass
Oval convex glass is used for framing convex photographs, as well as in clocks, gauges, and other instruments.
Deep Convex Glass or Acrylic Domes?
For deeper items, we offer oval acrylic domes, ranging from 2.5" to 7" in depth, fitting all our frames.
